Tuesday 12 November 2024
On Monday, an information meeting was held for the launch of Wanteraktioun 2024/2025, with all the organisations involved in the initiative, whether directly or indirectly.
The aim of Wanteraktioun is to ensure that people living on the streets have a warm place to stay during the coldest months of the year.
HUT - Hëllef um Terrain was well represented at this meeting, as the Wanteraktioun mobilises a large number of its services: street workers, street nurses, help and guidance services, psychologists, the Atelier thérapeutique d'Ehlerange for laundry, and many others.
HUT - Hëllef um Terrain is mainly responsible for running the Wanteraktioun night shelter, which is coordinated by Djenna Empain (photo).
For me, it's important to be part of the Wanteraktioun team again. I already took part last year. My experience will be very useful. What's more, I really enjoyed it. Human contact is essential in an action like the Wanteraktioun’, emphasises Djenna Empain.
Wanteraktioun is an initiative of the Ministry of Family, Solidarity, Living Together and Reception of Refugees and is managed by Dräieck asbl, of which HUT - Hëllef um Terrain is a recent member. The other two members are the Luxembourg Red Cross, which manages the day shelter, and Inter-Actions, which coordinates the field work.
